Pixi Subtly Suntouched Beauty Bronzer Review

Friday, March 14, 2014

Pixi calls their Beauty Bronzers a "deluxe bronzing powder" that "gives your complexion the warmth and luminosity of naturally sunkissed skin. Hydrating, silky smooth, and long wearing; it also protects against free radicals." This bronzer is available in three shades; my review is for Subtly Suntouched. I received a deluxe sample of this bronzer in an Ipsy Bag. The full sized Pixi Beauty Bronzer retails for $18 and includes a kabuki brush. Pixi is a cruelty free brand. This bronzer was made in China. Pixi products are available through the brand's website, at Target, and at the brand's flagship shop in London.

Pixi's Beauty Bronzers come in round, light green pots with a twist off cap. A pixie is printed on the front of the cap. The back of the compact offers the shade name and a full ingredient list. This bronzer's packaging is slightly rubberized, making it an absolute magnet for powder. Aside from that, I like this bronzer's packaging, and Pixi's packaging style as a whole.

Pixi's Beauty Bronzer is awesome. This bronzer has an interesting texture - the surface of the powder is bumpy and easily cracked (but just as easily repressed). This bronzing powder is very soft, easily picked up with my trusty Avon Glow Bronzing Brush. Pixi's Beauty Bronzer blends nicely, it meshes well with other face makeup, and works down to a natural, skin like finish. Subtly Suntouched wears well throughout the day.

Subtly Suntouched is a light, warm, yellow based bronzer with a satin finish. This bronzer contains some gold shimmer that's not overly apparent unless you're really examining it closely. Subtly Suntouched can be used for contouring on very light skin like my own. Light to medium skins could be able to use this as an all over bronzing powder. Pixi's Subtly Suntouched could make a lovely highlighter on medium complexions.

I've been enjoying Pixi's Subtly Suntouched Beauty Bronzer thoroughly! Packaging is cute and functional, though it can get a little messy. This bronzer has a strange but easy to work with texture. Subtly Suntouched is a nice, light, warm, satiny bronzer. As a bronzer, Subtly Suntouched will only work or the very fair. I'll definitely be getting a lot of use from this bronzer. Would I spend $18 on the full size? Maybe. I do recommend Pixi's Beauty Bronzers, they're quite nice. I'm very happy that I got to try this pretty bronzer. I'd really love to try more Pixi products in the future.
